Prince Fans Flock To Minneapolis [VIDEO]

I, along with thousands of other Prince fans, flocked to Minneapolis, MN immediately following Prince's untimely death.

The spirit and vibe of was surprisingly positive.  Very little sadness.  Lots of celebration.  It's not at all what I expected.  Local and National Press were everywhere.  But so were the fans.  Black, white and brown; old and young; gender, race, class or religion did not exist.  Not to mention, people flew from Germany and Japan just to stand in front of Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, MN.

When we tried to make our way from Downtown Minneapolis to Paisley Park Studios something very strange happened.  The Garmin GPS in my car could not find the place.  I know I was using the correct address.  Both my iphone and Suzannah's iphone could find the place but refused to give us direction.  Yes, you read that right...refused.  It claimed "all" roads were closed.  Finally, we downloaded the WAZE app (thanks Jeremy) and we were off.  Other fans at Paisley Park told us they had the same problems.

I broadcasted via Facebook Live from Paisley Park.  You can check out that video below.  You may need to be signed into Facebook to access the video.

After we spent a couple hours at the beautiful Paisley Park, Larry Graham exited the building.  Larry Graham is the former bass player of Sly and the Family Stone and Prince as well as Prince's best friend.

After that amazing moment we head back to downtown Minneapolis to prepare for an all night Prince dance party at the famous First Avenue night club.

We stood in line for over 4 hours.  It got weird...REAL WEIRD.  It really is too much to type.  Check out the video below.
